I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Can you honestly say anyone was surprised?
I was bitching about this last night.
But no, it's no surprise...
Kitties! We want kitties!
My prediction was that the low-income/wealthy cutoff would be at $5,000, so I was a little bit off.
Perhaps the wealthy are no longer entitled to the same catblogging benefits as those with low incomes.
Hahahahahaha. Bu$h's head is gonna explode over this.
Hahahahahaha. Bu$h's head is gonna explode over this.
Why would it? The media is totally letting him get away with it.
Media Matters is great, but they are willfully ignored (can't imagine why...).
The media for the most part also failed to comment on how unpresidential and disprespectful most of his words are to his country.
local bamboozlement: seattle times headline in boldface type - "Bush urges differing benefits for rich, poor". hey, gwb is robin hood!
small print reads:
"The president proposed allowing Social Security benefits to grow for lower-income Americans while cutting others." uh oh, cutting? that doesn't sound as good...
even smaller print reads:
"Plan ripped by both liberals, conservatives." which would certainly make me follow the link to find out why...if the goddamn print were large enough to read.
the evidence here proves it: nobody cries louder than middle-class folks denied their due. Chimpy's mistake was to tell the middle class their benefits will be cut. bad form, and it will cost him.
The media for the most part also failed to comment on how unpresidential and disprespectful most of his words are to his country.
I still think his tendency to laugh and/or smirk while talking of killers, war, and torture is creepy and inappropriate in the extreme.
Kitties! We want kitties!
If it's kitties you want...!
You want the media to do something besides regurgitating and stenography?
News is bidness now. If the other guy can do his research cheaper by cutting and pasting the talking points faxed to him, what's a journalist ho to do to compete? Get his facts straight? Do you think that will get more eyeballs to look than PajamasMedia can get through their new media empire?
Chimpy's mistake was to tell the middle class their benefits will be cut. bad form, and it will cost him.
Did he, though? He made it sound like just the *wealthy* would have their benefits cut, and the media let him.
Nice kitty, dave!
I got some cats 'n' quotes for ya as well...
But such accounts fail to reveal that Bush's proposal for "progressive indexing," which the White House says is based upon the Pozen plan, would result in substantial cuts in the benefit levels promised under the current Social Security system.
I'm sorry, but the TV news, which is where the vast majority get their daily dose, was dumping HARD on Bu$h's *plan.* I think all the talk of benifit cuts is the only thing most people grasp because in all the bamboozeling the WH is pushing. All but the most hardened partisans get it that bu$h is out of his mind.
oh never fucking mind...ST just cut-and-past from some fnozzle at WaPo.
when did major metropolitan newspapers stop writing their own front page articles, and simply plug in the latest off the AP wire, NYT or WaPo?
or have i been living in a nostalgia-encrusted fantasy land?
I don't think you can say you were bamboozled unless you actually care what the truth is. You can't cheat an honest man, as they say.
Did he, though? He made it sound like just the *wealthy* would have their benefits cut, and the media let him.

Did the TV news highlight the income where the benefit cuts would start? That's pretty much the key. As long as people think it's the rich people who don't need SS getting their benefits cut, you're not going to see much uproar. But if they know threshold for benefit cuts is "not dirt poor" instead of "comfortably well off"...
I still think his tendency to laugh and/or smirk while talking of killers, war, and torture is creepy and inappropriate in the extreme.

I could not agree more. He seems to take way too much pleasure in speaking about rape rooms.
Great kitties, Dave.
Richard Belzer was just on AAR. I could listen to Belz rap about politics, or really anything, for hours.
The print press has recognized that after 9/11, we must never again accurately report on math.
Kitties! Moon is beautiful.
He seems to take way too much pleasure in speaking about rape rooms.
He sure did have an awfully funny bowlegged walk up to the podium...
Dave: Moon looks nasty! Hope mary finds a home.
I'm surprised. No, I'm not. 
The over/under for the 2006 U.S. Senate races will remain GOP + 1 for the time being. If, however, the GOP got itself fully together, and recruited an across-the-board slate of strong candidates, the over/under will be raised to GOP + 3, or perhaps even GOP + 4.
On the other hand, in the gubernatorial contests, the GOP’s prospects are not nearly that bullish. In fact, we’re going to set the preliminary over/under at GOP - 2.
P.S. - We’re presuming AG Kilgore will pick up Virginia, later this year, thereby giving the GOP a 29-21 gubernatorial majority going into next year’s cycle.

A Rocky First 100 Days for New Bush Term
"One hundred days into his second term, President Bush has lost much of the political muscle he boasted about after winning re-election. Gas prices are rising, his approval ratings are sagging and Americans are unhappy with his handling of the economy and Iraq."
100 days of blunder. May there be many more of them.
Olberman is dogging Boosh HARD. He noted that 75% of networks bailed on the news conference before it officially ended. Heh.
"One hundred days into his second term, President Bush has lost much of the political muscle he boasted about after winning re-election. Gas prices are rising, his approval ratings are sagging and Americans are unhappy with his handling of the economy and Iraq."
Gee, maybe a possibly-enhanced 51% isn't a mandate after all...
Why is Putin bitching about the demise of the old Soviet Union? It's obviously alive and well here--well, at least the press and the government cover-ups.

Yes, Virginia is in great of another Republican governor like Jim Gilmore, who was so bad he even became radioactive to Republicans.

Keith's guest (Crawford) just pointed out that none of the repubs understand how little things like 9pm teevee are important to folks. Mentioned Delay, which makes sense as far as an out-of-touch goober goes.

If the networks bailed before it ended, why did they? Did Bush start drooling or gibbering?
Did the TV news highlight the income where the benefit cuts would start? That's pretty much the key
Eli, from what I saw it was pretty clear that all but the very poorest would see a 20-40 percent cut.
If the networks bailed before it ended, why did they? Did Bush start drooling or gibbering?
No more so than usual. I think they were just in a hurry to get back to their Thursday night programming.

Thank you Diane. Otter, what gorgeous genes!

Short notice: they had sweeps programming (Survivor) planned. Which is actually too bad, since the point where Bush went semi-psycho on one reporter might have missed the cutoff.

I'm totally fed up with the arguments about Social Security. Why don't the wingnuts give us an explicit and clear proposal? Then we can tear it down. Instead of this they keep on trying to drum fear and throw out all sorts of decoys. I will not spend months shooting them down, but I'd be happy to write on a concrete set of proposals.

Didn't catch the guy's name, it was towards the end when the wheels were falling off. Reporter asked something about social security affecting the rich. like you, mr. president.
Bush had a quick aside: "that was unnecessary, we're on TV here." or something along those lines. It was his loudest exchance of the evening.
all paraphrased, and I was drinking a smidge...
The formula works this way:
- Rolling back future tax cuts is called a 'tax increase" by the Bush administration.
- Rolling back future benefit increases is NOT called a "benefit cut" by the Bush administration.

- US Treasury Bonds are worthless IOUs when they're in a pooled Social Security trust fund.

Here's the Bullshit King in action:
QUESTION: I wanted to ask you about your ideas on dealing with Social Security solvency problems.
As I understand it -- and I know you'll tell me if I'm wrong -- benefits would be equal to what -- at least equal to what they are today, and then any increase in benefits would be indexed according to income, with lower-income people getting bigger increases.
Two things on that. Today's benefits probably won't mean much somewhere down the road. And how far are you going to go with this means-based program? Are you talking about...
BUSH: Yes, I appreciate that.
QUESTION: ... a system where a rich person, say Dick Cheney, wouldn't get much out of it?
BUSH: Now wait a minute, don't get personal here, that's international TV. That's a cheap shot.
"That's international TV." He must have been pointing at the one camera that was beaming this masterpeice out to the rest of the world.
The beauty of this is that because Bush has been touring the country for the past two months trying to sell this turkey, it makes it a *lot* harder to backtrack, because this administration cannot admit error, and all the hype has made it a lot harder to pretend that they have *always* been in favor of leaving SS alone.
Nice doggie. I got some severe acrophobia lookin at the big pic version.(btw, the second big pic version don't work right)
Chimpy: Unka Karl, where's my mandate?? waaaaaaa
Be afraid folks, remember there's an old Bush family friend lurking around, waiting on orders from H.Q.

Let's try to stop the Media from falling for the new Bush SS project by exposing the hidden trick. Bush can claim he's shifting the burden of reform more on the wealthy than the poor and middle-middle (a long term adjustment) while fending off the short-term hit of raising or eliminating the salary cap. Not only that, but in this economy and under rightwing domination, do median wages really rise much higher (if at all) compared to prices? More Rovian cleverness.

(...)
1) If Bush's plan to have a portion of social security in the stock market is such a good thing why doesn't Bush propose letting the government invest social security contributions in the stock market and save us trouble and administrative costs of setting up tens of millions of private accounts? And since it is such a sure thing (from his rhetoric), why not have the government guarantee a return at least equal to the returns we are expected to receive today?

When you combine the obvious lack of intelligence and curiosity of the reporters from major media outlets who are covering the White House with their fear of pissing off what they must see as a militant conservative domination, you have a recipe for disaster.
Information consumers, like those of us who frequent this blog, for instance, can work around the problem, but there's a deeper issue that can't be papered over. Democracy does not work in the absence of a free and vigorous press. It can't. The scary part isn't their stupidity; it's the long-term danger this poses for our system.

Ended the Vietnam War? The folks in Saigon and Hanoi are partying this week in remembrance. 30 years now since Saigon fell.
I wanted to puke watching Chris Mathews on MSNBC tonight.
The whole show could have been retitled "How we won the war until those hippies at home stabbed us in the back then spit on us when we came home."
Don't waste your time trying to logically analyze any of the Bush SS BS. He's trying to find a way to steal our money, plain and simple.
Just like his war plan was nothing more than elaborate heist.
Eveything he does involves enriching himself and his friends, or accumulating more power.

Comic Book Bondage Cover of the Day
and here's a classic by Johnny Craig
Mrs. Ibrahim al-Jaafari
Before he passed away, Johnny Craig and his wife used to "mall walk" once a week or so past my shop. He would come in and poke around, and I would yak with him about comic books in general and the EC line specifically... he drew one of the most horrific covers for Shock Suspenstories (which I asked him to autograph and which is hanging right here on the wall) and he very embarrassedly said "That one got me in a lot of trouble!" What a sweet guy, with an incredible sense of draftsmanship!
Oooh, and George Evans came by the store on occasion before he died, too. A sweetheart too! I've got an incredible "Secret Agent Corrigan" strip hanging here too that he gave me...
Sorry, back to Bush and mendacity...

The Washington Times notes a curious comment by a Democratic congresswoman on the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, which the House passed Wednesday, and which would make it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines to evade her home state's parental-notification laws:
Democrats said Congress is intruding unfairly into family issues and said Republicans have not learned from their attempts to intervene in the case of a brain-damaged Florida woman.
"The people of this country don't want the government intruding" in family disputes, said Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, New York Democrat.
In fact, this bill would not intrude into family disputes; it does precisely the opposite: It would punish those who intrude into family disputes by helping girls procure abortions without their parents' knowledge.
Louise, get a clue.
When they say that day pass provided full access, they wasn't just whistlin' dixie.
He asked them for a hard pass, and they just winked at him and said "*You* don't need one, big boy."

The most viloe and persistent abuse returning Vietnam vets faced came from the old guys at the VFW and American Legion halls.
Troops returned on commercial flights, so how could protesters possibly know when they'd be showing up one or two at a time in an airport? It's also telling that researchers have never found a single article from newspapers describing a brawl or assault involving a vet or a protester at an airport. One would think there would ne, no?
The stories are simply not true unles you count the movie Rambo, in which such an incident was depicted.

My dad and I swapped engines in my '67 Karmann-Ghia once. FOUR BOLTS, the fuel line, a couple of wires and the accelerator linkage! That was it! While we had the engine off, we put in a new clutch plate. When we got it all back together, my dad found 4 springs and held them out in his hand to show me. We both looked at each other in dismay. then he casually threw them in the corner of the garage and said "Let's take her for a drive." I was dumbfounded, but we drove it with no ill effects.

I'm pretty sure he comes across as fairly liberal in person. But he bends so far over backwards for the right he might as well be a right-winger himself.
Right after the "stab in the back" segment, he had on Tommy Franks and they started talking about how the Vietnam War had been won by 1970 and if only we had given the troops a few years more "support" the South Vietnamese government wouldn't have fallen.
The whole show could have been scripted by John O'Neil.

Somewhat back On Topic,
From Raw Story, an interview with Jim Moran.
"I think the Republicans basically resent the poor and they figure if we can get the poor investing in the stock market, maybe they’ll start thinking like Republicans," Moran said. "God help us."
The Virginian said he believes that the Republican base has used Bush to push Social Security reform, a project that he says is essentially one to axe Social Security.
"I think they realized that they’re never going to find anybody who is as willing to carry out the agenda of these Republican right wing nuts and reverse the course of American progress," he remarked. "This is their chance. This is their chance to cut taxes down to the bone. This is their chance to repeal Social Security and to bankrupt Medicare and Medicaid."
God help us indeed.

Anyway, it dealt with the gas crisis in a typical detroit fashion: there was this gage on the dash that told you 'fuel' economy. About the ftrst 1/16" of an inch was good, the rest was poor. You'd touch the gas pedal and the needle would move into the 'poor' range. Haha.
Tena, are you still out there? holden was posting so furiously today that I missed your post on emergency contraception. I left you a comment over there--I've got a quote from an article at my blog that estimates something like 22,000 women get pregnant every year because they are not offered EC in emergency rooms after being raped. 
And Dick Shawn's LSD? Unforgettable!
And Franz Liebling.
"Vat is this 'baby'? Zee Fuhrer does not say 'baby'!"
I know there's another Ellsberg out there - somewhere. And a couple of industrious, hungry young writers eager to take the story and bury once and for all the fat and happy press eunuchs.
Now if we could only find a publisher with a backbone.
I'll probably get some major shit for this, but I don't see what the problem is with Nancy Grace.
Terry C
My problem with Nancy isn't that she relies on the sensational crimes of the day to score outrage points -not my preferred way to go, but it's no different from what I hear walking around every day, and what I've seen working in DA's offices. Everybody hates bad guys.
I only wanted to send off bolts of lightning after her performance during the Schiavo days and the various child abductions. She's got a damn law degree, she shouldn't be pretending the constitution has an "out" clause when it comes to children.
Same goes for Joe Scarborough. Plug talking points? Fine. Flat-out lie about the constitution during the Schiavo roll-up? Hope he gets disbarred for that shit.
Not the most eloquently worded, but these two people are the ones for me. My pet anger projects.
To Terry C.
Regarding the death penalty:
The movement for abolition gained momentum in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. In 1845, The American Society for the Abolition of Capital Punishment was founded. Shortly thereafter, in 1847, the Territory of Michigan abolished the death penalty and replaced it with life imprisonment. By doing so, Michigan became the first English-speaking jurisdiction in the world to abolish the death penalty for common crimes.
We're pretty proud of that around here. Michigan still has no death penalty, even though the "Culture of Life" has repeatedly put it on the ballot.
i want a tr4. always wanted one. still do.
67 dodge dart, rust.
62 studebaker lark
1965 Rambler Ambassador 990 with factory air and FM radio (but not stereo). Bought it in '74 for $150, put another 40k mi on it and sold it for $125. Had the split bench front seat that folded flat....good times!
FeralLiberal
Had a Rambler wagon, with push button automatic.
The thing had a setting on the air for desert! I guess it was for rambling.
.
coronet station wagons ROCK. did it have the push button transmission?
my first car was a 75 Coronet with a 440 Big Block. drove it into the ground after it travelled trans-continetal 3 times. next bought a 69 Coronet that ran and ran. Police Cars make the best cars. shitty mileage, but those Chrysler blocks are
a)easy to fix
b)easy to get gray market parts for
c)almost indestructible except for the points, which have to be replaced every 10 months of heavy use.
Your first car? How long until you flipped it?
MisterX
Never. Swear to goddess, never been in an accident. Only had one speeding ticket in my driving life, and that was issued by Sergeant Nipper in the great state of GA. Boo hooed my way out of paying on the spot and got away without paying altogether. Heh heh heh.
Nancy Grace is a fucking mental case. I only saw her one time, and it was during the Schivopalooza. Grace was a disgrace, typical right wings lies and sensationalism. Continually saying things like "They're starving this woman to death" and "Did Micheal Schivo abuse his wife?". She doesn't deserve to be on the air.
My parents bought a '72 Lincoln in the daytime when its color was "Harvest Gold." They didn't until nighttime that streetlights turned it into taxicab yellow
And I didn't wreck ANY of them.
MisterX
Are you fucking kidding me?
That's why I had so many back then.
Totalling a cheap car wasn't hard.
None where high speed crashes just being young and stupid. Like my Brother going around a corner and somehow running down the little Maple tree in the neighbors front yard and hitting thier car parked in their drive way! There went my Moms 66 mustang.
OK, never did anything THAT stupid (did I mention he's an engineer at Martin Marietta/GE, now), but I did wreck a few cars.

Son of a bitch, Mrs. Al-J. Damn.
Not much on style points, but that god damn 440 could blow just about anything that wanted to fuck with it off the road. Seriously.

agave, accidental texan
Well, I always seemed get my friends to wreck THEIR cars... been in three pretty serious accidents (vehicles totalled back when cars were made of real steel), but I was never the driver...

My daddy had one
Along with the coltrane, diz, ...........
67 dodge dart, rust.
I had a 64, a 65, and a '67, if memory serves. Also a couple of Plymouth Valiants, which is the same thing. But my first car was a 1965 Buick Skylark, cherry red convertible with black leather seats. I loved that car.

My parents had a '59 Rambler wagon with the same, 2 tone salmon and mauve. I also had a '66 Mustang in the late '70s, I was in the process of doing a resoration when a storm came through and knocked a tree onto it.
I remember during the '73 gas crisis, you could always get $1 worth of gas on the NJ Turnpike or Garden State Parkway, even when the othe stations were out of gas. I guess they didn't want people to be stranded there. So you would pay a quarter to buy a dollar's worth of gas(and use part of it driving there to get it).
'67 Chevy Impala, the backseat was large enough to spead out and take a nap.
Of course, when I bought it, it was already 24 years old. The Arizona sun and dryness kept the body in pristine, though faded, condition.
Ate oil like a MF, though. Eventually started belching blue smoke and finally died. What a great 3 weeks, though.

No shit!
I have one of those! It's been repainted in it's original color, but yeah.
I love the looks of that car.
It's in NM right now cauce it wouldn't start when the car carrier was ready to go (damn thing ran like a top before that, had had less miles than the Probe.) I drove it to work when my Probe was in the shop. We would drive it on weekends to Sonic or to get ice cream.
Miss it. Thanks alot for bringing that up!
My GF calls it the Cadillac. No many times I tell her it's a Lincoln, she still does it.
.
For the record, I currently drive an '83 Ford Econoline Van, that I was going to fix up, but have more just torn apart.
Maybe some day.
Just felt like I had to admit that.
Feel better now.

"I had a 64, a 65, and a '67, if memory serves"
I think it was a 67, but not sure. the front top of the fenders were totally rusted out. In a rainstorm, driving down the highway, the wheels would kick these huge plumes of water up thru the rust holes. far out.
And it also had these air vents down by your feet big enough to stash a pound of pot and a bong.
I also miss those side windows you could open to direct air...why? why? did car manufacturers get rid of those?

jdw
There are entire generations living now who have never enjoyed the pleasures of the WING VENT!
I wish my current car still had these...
My family had a green Edsel station wagon. I can still remember that tank going down the highway. They built cars big and heavy back then and then would throw in fins and giant grills. But then gas was like 19 cents a gallon.
You know, dave's alright when he posts about cultural stuff he's into, but the "Unka Karl" "Brownshirt" shtick was tired in 2003.
At this point, it's downright depressing to see someone you (I) recognize as a semi regular poster get the "brownshirt" treatment just because dave thinks everyone's behind him and he can get away with it. It happened today and, quite frankly, it was prety ugly. I hate to see that shit happen.
Just sayin'
